Harlow recently attended the prestigious Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH) Conference 2024, held at the ICC Birmingham from 25-27 March 2024. This year’s event was the largest ever, attracting over 1,900 in-person attendees and nearly 400 virtual delegates. It was a vibrant gathering of professionals dedicated to advancing child health, kicked off by Dr Camilla Kingdon, RCPCH President 2021-24, and featured a vital presentation from the RCPCH &Us team of children and young people.
One of the conference highlights was a keynote speech by Professor Sir Michael Marmot CH, Director of the UCL Institute of Health Equity, who discussed child health inequalities. The event also delved into technological advances in healthcare, including a thought-provoking session on general-purpose artificial intelligence (AI) in paediatrics by Dr Umang Patel.
Amidst this dynamic environment, Harlow proudly exhibited cutting-edge child health products, including the personal child health record (PCHR), also known as the red books which we produce in partnership with RCPCH, printed growth charts, and approved measuring equipment to support the monitoring of child development. Our standout presentation was on iGROW, our fully digital child growth chart system. This innovative software facilitates a paperless approach to tracking early child growth, seamlessly integrating with all Electronic Patient Record (EPR) systems.
“Harlow was thrilled to participate in the RCPCH Conference 2024,” noted our Managing Director Jack Harrison. “This event provided an invaluable opportunity for us to network with leading professionals in the paediatric health sector, learn about the latest innovations, and showcase our products designed to enhance child growth monitoring. The positive reception to our iGROW software, which supports comprehensive growth tracking from height and weight to head circumference, was particularly encouraging.”
The conference’s Exhibition Hall was abuzz with activity, with numerous organisations displaying their contributions to child health. Attendees had the chance to engage in a variety of workshops and specialist symposia, enhancing their professional knowledge and skills. Networking opportunities abounded, both in-person and online via the conference app, facilitating valuable connections among delegates from across the UK and around the world.
Harlow is proud to be at the forefront of innovation in child health, and our participation in the RCPCH Conference 2024 underscored our commitment to supporting the health and development of children through our expertise and innovative products.
